Welp, they're a good example of what happens if they don't do proper testing.

In theory, yes. Vanguard uses ring 0 access; and Failures/crashes on the code that are running on that level will lead to BSOD.

In practice, Riot very likely tests Vanguard on various hardware as parts of their tests before shipping updates on it, as it's used by all players that play Lol and Valorant; and a fuckup like that would mess the trust they've built between the players. Players are trusting them to run ring 0 code on their computer, so they can have a cheatless experience after all.

You're not allowed to have a mail? This is beyond helicopter parenting. What the fuck

Not specifically on Lemmy, but basically any way you could be contacted as the developer of the game

This video explains it from the perspective of someone that found their keys given resold on other platforms:

You cannot migrate all devices running Windows to Linux easily, if your machine contains all sorts of software that was designed to run on it as is. That would be a really poor decision.

Your staff knows what software stack you've built should work where and how, and this includes Windows. Swapping it with another operating system will complicate things way more than what they're dealing with, and no one will want to deal with that.

Just a tip as an indie dev. Some people could reach out to you to promote your games, defining themselves as curators, promoters and the sort. Check their history; abstain from handing multiple Steam keys for free. These keys could end up in third party markets (like g2a, kinguin) , reducing actual sales for your games. Check their legitimacy first.

Speaking of Dragon Ball, it's in a very weird "how to progress further" dillema after Toriyama's death. Various people have the rights for different purposes; and want to do different things with the franchise.

I just hope it doesn't end up like LOTR franchise where they cash out for shit ass products that doesnt respect its source material.

This video always comes to my mind when talking about roundabouts

EA got my account stolen with 1200+ hours of playtime via fraudulent support tickets. That's why, I am not touching anything EA's involved with ever when they absolutely suck at account security.

Companies wouldn't mind having an OS level code run on their PCs if its meant to help secure their computers. A malware infecting their computers could result in way more damages after all.
